Bobby Moore Career

Robert Frederick Chelsea "Bobby" Moore, OBE (12 April 1941 - 24 February 1993) was an English footballer, famous for lifting the 1966 World Cup.

Born in Barking, Essex, he captained West Ham United for more than ten years and was captain of the England team that won the 1966 World Cup. He won a total of 108 caps for the England team, which at the time of his international retirement in 1973 was a national record.

Although this record was later broken by 125-cap goalkeeper Peter Shilton, and along with David Beckham who recently received his 108th England cap, Moore along with David remain the two most capped outfield players ever to play for England.

Spanning across an impressive senior career, he spent the majority of his club days at West Ham United with 544 appearances and 24 goals. Before retiring from club football, he also played for Fulham and some shorter spells for clubs overseas including San Antonio Thunder, Seattle Sounders and Herning Fremad.

For country, he made a record making 108 appearances with 2 goals, although this record was later broken by 125-cap goalkeeper Peter Shilton, and along with David Beckham who recently received his 108th England cap, Moore along with David remain the two most capped outfield players ever to play for England.

Sir Bobby, like many other retired players, moved across to the management side of things, managing clubs Oxford City, Eastern AA(Hong Kong) and Southend United FC.

Before his untimely death in his hometown of Barking, Essex he had acclaimed many credible honours such as the 1966 World Cup, The UEFA Cup Winners Cup and many more.
